Red Ruffed Lemur
Varecia variegata rubra

Red Ruffed LemurThis is a very rare animal existing only in the isolated wild Masoala peninsula.

The only boundary separating this sub-species from the Black and White Ruffed Lemur is the river Antainambalana, it prevents genetic interchange.

This is the heaviest lemur.  They usually have twins, they leave them in a nest during the day whilst foraging, unlike the Ring-tails which carry their young around at all times on their bodies.
